Breaking Free: Liz Urbina's Journey from Burnout to Empowering Women with Conscious Eating

Jun 6

Episode Summary

In this episode of *The Secret KeepHers* podcast, I interview Liz Urbina, a former engineer who transitioned into a holistic nutritionist focusing on conscious eating, particularly for women over 40. Liz shares her journey from a high-performing but health-compromised professional to a passionate advocate for holistic health. She discusses her struggles with bloating, fatigue, and other health issues, which led her to seek alternative medicine and ultimately change her career path.

Liz emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with one's body, understanding hunger cues, and making conscious, healthy choices that move away from both processed foods and restrictive diets. She also discusses the cultural normalization of unhealthy eating habits and the pharmaceutical industry's role in perpetuating these issues.

A pivotal moment in Liz's journey was a diagnosis that she would be unable to have another child, which motivated her to take control of her health and eventually help others do the same. She credits a mentor who helped her focus on nurturing her body and preparing for a healthier future.

Liz also highlights the importance of bringing family along in the journey towards better health, sharing how her son now appreciates healthy foods. She offers a free guide on maintaining a strong metabolism after 40, encouraging a holistic approach to aging and wellness.

Throughout the episode, Liz and I discuss the challenges and rewards of making positive, lasting changes in one’s health and the importance of having a good coach to guide and support that process. Liz’s passion for her work and her dedication to helping others shines through, making this a compelling and inspiring conversation.

About Liz: Dynamic professional engineer Liz Urbina was the perfect example of a high achieving successful businesswoman, excelling in the petroleum industry for over twenty-two years in three different countries, making multi-million dollar decisions.

Her career was thriving. Sadly, her health was not. Coping with stress by living on caffeine, fast food, and her fortifying daily glass of wine, just like modern women everywhere, Liz was dealing with digestive issues, chronic adult acne, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances. Ultimately, unexplained infertility in her early thirties galvanizedher into definitely taking control of her well-being.

Now, as a Certified Nutrition Coach and empowered eating expert, Liz is passionate abouthelping women discover a new and natural way to radiant overall health without the unnatural gimmicks of dieting. If you’re feeling dragged down by digestive issues, lacking energy, and that true zest for life, working together with Liz will guide you to forget past failures and embrace her loving, positive approach to nurturing your body.

Oh, I am also former engineer, who, after 22 years of successful career, leave that behind, and shifted into really my true purpose, which was. 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.000 Supporting and helping women to. 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.000 Revolutionize their health. 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.000 Through the power of food. 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:45.000 So some people call me the Disruptor Nutritionist, and we were just talking about this. 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.000 Because I would ask it through the real questions like. 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.000 How is your poop? Are you actually going for number 2? 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:01.000 Because I'll not tell you to count steps to count calories, count anything really. 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.000 I will! 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:09.000 Not just give you a meal plan, and you know, let you on your own trying to figure out things. 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.000 Help you to really understand your body at the stage, that it is. 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:34.000 The real needs that it has, and how those needs change over time. I will help you reconnect to your true essence of like things like your hunger cues like we. We are in A, in a stage, in, in A, in a era. I think that. 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000 We are all in the Gogo. 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:43.000 And we are eating on the car. We are eating in the office in front of a computer in front of the TV. 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:52.000 And we disconnect completely from our body, and the signals that our bodies send us, and that is causing so much. 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000 Problems like a lot of. 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:01.000 Eating disorders that we are, you know, seeing all around us are because of. 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.000 Though those patterns. 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.000 And I'll. 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000 Get you, I'll help you. Really. 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:19.000 Change your identity and get to perceive and think of food in a totally different way. Not just this. This idea, one thing that drives me crazy. 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.000 And it stopped me because I tend to talk too much. 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.000 Huh! 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000 One thing that drives me crazy is. 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.000 How. 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.000 You know, our society tends to normalize. 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.000 Things, like eating. 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.000 Food-like products. 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.000 And then. 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.000 Go to. 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.000 Take the medications to fix the issues that those. 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:57.000 Same products are gonna cost, they know, are gonna cost into our bodies. Like the other day I was on the movie theater with my son actually, and her girlfriend, which was like a total new experience for me. 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.000 And. 00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.000 I got 2. 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.000 Experience. You know all of the ads on. 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:14.000 You know the new flavor of soda, the new chocolate thing, the new candy, whatever all of those things right like. Go get them. 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.000 And then. 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.000 These new right after those. 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.000 These are about. 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.000 Go ask your doctor about Osc. 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.000 Oh! 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.000 And it was like. 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:46.000 Why, there's a message here, right? It's okay to go and eat all of those things like your your mouth and your body with all of those things, and then just go grab, you know the quick, fix that Peel, no matter the side effects, and I must like that is so not right. 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.000 So I am about. I am here to really. 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.000 Tell everybody. Every woman and their families. 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.000 That. 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.000 They do not have. 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:10.000 To be a slaves of our toxic culture, that I they can be free, that there are options that is not about, you know, either going for all of those. 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.000 Food, like products that are convenient, that are cravable and extremely tasty. 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.000 Or going into the other extreme, which is. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.000 Restrictive diets that mess up with our. 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:32.000 Minds, with our emotions, with our digestive system, with our metabolism, we don't have to be either of those extremes. 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.000 We can find the balance. 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.000 And actually feel and look our best. 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.000 Regardless of our. 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.000 Stage or age. 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.000 So that's what I am. 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.000 All the above. 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:54.000 Well, I love it, and I love your passion behind it like I feel all of your energy, you know. It's just so genuine in. 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.000 Part of that comes from. 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:05.000 You know. Maybe there was some. There was some beliefs and some things that brought you to this passion. 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:12.000 So here are the secret keepers. We're here to bring things to light. You know the these are things that. 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:21.000 You know. Maybe we grew up knowing a certain way or being taught certain things. And it's not. It's not about blaming. 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:30.000 It's about bringing to light and being able to shift our perspective and our thinking. And you know what works best for us. So. 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.000 What I would love for you to do, Liz is, tell us, how did you get. 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:41.000 To this point where you're at right now. From being an engineer. 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.000 Yes, love it well, you see. 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:52.000 The the truth was that I found myself. There was a time in my life, and this is like 15 years back. 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:58.000 What I found myself solving problems for others. 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.000 But struggling with a basic. 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.000 For myself and for my family, which was. 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.000 Actually eating. 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.000 You know i i i was. 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.000 Really struggling with a lot of signs and symptoms. 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000 Floating Constipation. 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:25.000 Scheme. Problems digest like really bad digestion, energy levels. Like I was. 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:31.000 On these chronic fatigue, mode, and surviving on coffee, on. 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.000 Fast food like I was that one girl who thought that. 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.000 There was no option for me that. 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:44.000 I have all of these uses. I had in my mind all of the reasons why. 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.000 I could not prioritize. 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.000 Eating, healthier. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:08:01.000 It was 2 planned. My son wouldn't even like it, so why bother? Nobody would like to go on board with that with changing our eating habits? 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.000 It it was. 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:11.000 Too expensive. It was time consuming, you know. I had all of the reasons to keep delaying something that I knew. 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.000 I had to eventually get into. 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.000 And that is. 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.000 That is exact point I want to bring up is. 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.000 Unfortunately, we tend to. 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.000 We tend to. 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.000 Get our priorities. 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.000 All backwards. 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.000 Until. 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.000 Live, these rocks. 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.000 Until that one thing that we know is important. 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.000 Becomes an emergency. 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:38.000 Chair. 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.000 And so. 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.000 Through my work. My hope is that. 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:50.000 I'm gonna help women and their families to start taking proactive action instead of waiting. 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.000 For live to disrupt them. 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.000 You know. 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.000 Hmm. 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.000 For me. 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.000 That is for option happen in April 2,011. 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.000 When I found myself in this room. 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.000 Sitting on on comfortable chairs. 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.000 These. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:19.000 It's mail of antiseptic and magazines with happy, hopeful faces of families waiting for a doctor to call me into the room. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:27.000 And when that moment actually arrived, just seeing that tall person on the white coat and the stack of paper, just telling me. 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.000 Please. 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:34.000 You're not going to be able to have another child. 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.000 That was. 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.000 That was devastating for me. 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.000 You know. 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.000 That. 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.000 I didn't realize it at the moment, but. 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.000 With, you know. 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:51.000 After the shock, and after the heartbreak. 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.000 Starting, putting my engineering hat back on. 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.000 I I'm finding a good mentor. Of course. 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:08.000 I started, understanding that that was the result of my consistent repeated choices in the past. 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.000 And and. 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.000 It was not my fault. 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.000 Nobody told me. 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.000 But not knowing. 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.000 That's not. Unfortunately. 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.000 Does not. 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.000 Exempt us from. 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.000 From the consequences. Right. 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.000 Right? Yeah. There are still. 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:32.000 That's I guess this is where we are in life. We get to take responsibility. 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.000 For the choices that we make from this point further. 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.000 Right. Your awareness was raised. 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.000 That this was an issue. 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.000 An unfortunate. 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.000 Consequent or result of it was. 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.000 You're not gonna be able to have another baby.

Symptoms. 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:51.000 Let's teach people how to recognize what works for their own bodies. 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.000 Maybe because we're so. 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.000 Uniquely and wonderfully created. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.000 So we're not carbon copies so like what works for you may not work for me. 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.000 But you get. 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.000 Absolutely. 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:09.000 Solutions you're like.

Breakthroughs happen when we work with someone. 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:34.000 That can help get us to that next level. So tell me a little bit about your process. 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.000 Yes, so I remember. I. 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:44.000 My number, actually my only dream. And I wanna start with this. There's a quote that I love. 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.000 It's so hard to take. But. 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.000 I've resonated so much with it. 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.000 At that time, and I still do. 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.000 Which is. 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.000 A healthy person has a million dreams. 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.000 And a sick person has only one dream. 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.000 My only dream at that time was. 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:10.000 I wanna give my son this evening. I don't wanna have my seedling off alone. That was the one. 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.000 3 my own. I have. 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.000 Yeah. 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:23.000 And so in my desperation, I was looking for alternatives because I didn't like to hear. You know what conventional medicine was telling me. I was looking for alternatives. 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.000 And looking for, and when we're ready. 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.000 A mentor. The mentor appears right. 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.000 I was ready. 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.000 But sometimes. 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.000 We get. 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.000 What we need, not what we're actually wanting or looking for, right. 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.000 Which is the beauty of it. 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:55.000 So that's what happened to me. Actually, I remember the 1st time I went into the office of this. It was it was error as she and she I came like looking for. 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.000 Help to get pregnant. 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.000 Naturally like alternative medicine, Chinese medicine, all of it. 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:10.000 And she was like, Okay, I can help you. But I wanna know more. And she started asking me these questions about. 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.000 How the work! How is my sleep? 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.000 How is actually my diet? How is my stress level. 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.000 How is my energy? 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:25.000 Questions that I never got asked by my doctors before. 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.000 What is your daily routine? How's your family? 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:34.000 Home. You know. How is your family doing? What kind of support do you have, how you work. 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.000 And I was like. 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:37.000 Well. 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:42.000 Fine like. If this is the one thing I have to do in order to get. 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:51.000 To get answers and be told what I need to do in order to get pregnant. I'll tell you everything right? Like I'm I was like, Okay, fine. 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.000 And then after. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.000 I tell her all of these answers? 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.000 She says. 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.000 Please. 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.000 Are you sure you want to have another baby. 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.000 I was shocked. 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.000 I was like. 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.000 Confused. 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.000 And at the same time. 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:17.000 To be honest, I was like a little bit pissed off because she, to question my right desires, my dreams. 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:21.000 And I was like, of course, like, that's the one thing I came for. 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.000 Nice. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.000 Is she as she goes on and says. 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.000 How about? 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:33.000 You try to forget about that for a while and focus on really. 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.000 Giving your body. 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.000 What it needs to feel and be good. 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.000 And then if the baby comes. 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.000 Great. 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:50.000 I started to understand, because at that time. 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.000 I was working full time. I was a single mom. 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.000 During the week, because my husband was working away from home. 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:05.000 I was in the middle of my master's degree, which I was taking. I will like. 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:12.000 My plate was so full I was leaping like 5 HA day. 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.000 I was not giving my. I was not working on. 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.000 Making my body a home. 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.000 For a new being to be nurtured. 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:42.000 So how, and I was not even nurturing my existing family. I was giving pizza frozen pizza for to my son for dinner. Several days of the week, you know, I was not packing his lunch. I was like, here's here's the money. Just buy whatever you can buy at school. 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.000 I was. You know I was. 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.000 Try to be a good mom, but I didn't know better. 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:54.000 I am stealing the process of forgiving myself for that, you know, because I didn't know better. 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.000 And I know there's so many moms out there. 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.000 That are in the same boat. 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.000 100. 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:05.000 So here is my! Here's my voice for you. 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:08.000 There are. 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:14.000 And the one of the best things I did was not just do the work to make my body. 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.000 The right best to carry another. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:24.000 But also bring my my existing family alone with me. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.000 Like I'm. 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:36.000 I meet so many women like I have had the honor to support so many women who have come to me after years of dieting. 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.000 While their families still. 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.000 Eat whatever they used to eat right. 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.000 And because. 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:49.000 The work I do is not about dieting. It's not about restricting any food. Anything really. 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.000 It's about going back to natural whole. 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.000 Do you know. 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.000 Ho! A holistic approach. 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.000 I tell them. 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.000 Bring your family alone, you will be surprised to see. 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:13.000 How do your kids start getting excited about an apple over an ice cream? How would your kids start enjoying things less sweet. 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:17.000 Harder like my son is a green smoothie. 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:21.000 Sure he eats the pizzas and the Burgers. 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:25.000 You know, from time to time, but he comes back home and he says, Mom. 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.000 I really need 3 days of creamies because I need to get that stuff. 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.000 Out of my body, you know. 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:37.000 Tells me. Holy cow, I did a pretty good job, you know, after all. 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.000 Yeah. 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:39.000 So. 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.000 There you go. You can celebrate that right and. 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.000 Yeah, exactly. 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.000 So for the fact that. 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:49.000 Right. We we were just doing the things that we were initially taught. 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.000 And then, like you said you were. 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.000 This. 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.000 High performing women. 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.000 And what I'm hearing you say is. 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.000 You were trying to be everything. 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.000 Right you were. 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:17.000 Trying to get it, you know. Finish another degree and and be, you know, this, this engineer in the workspace and and still be a mom and and have a husband that's traveling and. 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.000 When you know. 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.000 One of the. 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:24.000 Commercials that would come up for me from when I was younger was. 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:33.000 This Anjali commercial, and it would be like, you know, I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never let you forget that you're a man, cause I'm a woman, and. 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:38.000 You know we it meant well, we were really looking to believe that. 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.000 You know we can do all the things. 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.000 We can. 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.000 We can do all the things. 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.000 We don't need to do all the things ourselves. 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.000 And we don't need to do them all at once. 00:19:52.000 --> 00:20:02.000 And we get to take care of ourselves. Take care of our our body, temple, if you will take care of this is our soul's chance to be. Here is this body, temple. 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.000 And so you. 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.000 You know we what you're doing? I look at, I think. 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.000 You know you're you're breaking a whole cycle. 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.000 From behind you, of. 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:17.000 You know. 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.000 Yeah. 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:26.000 Being performance driven right?

I support my clients to, you know again coming from once and again, and feeling like they are a failure after failure, that they do not have the willpower, that they do not have the. You know that that 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.000 Even the discipline. 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.000 To keypot it right. 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.000 Is. 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.000 Well. 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.000 You know what. 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.000 You are fighting against an environment. 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:41.000 That is telling you to do the exact opposite of what you're trying to do. Do you know what? How hard that is? 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:47.000 Our environment makes up more than 60 of our daily choices. 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:48.000 So?
